As we head into 2026, the next big announcement on the smartphone calendar is the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series. Unfortunately, the Galaxy S26 is shaping up to be rather uninspired, if the early rumors are to be believed. However, one of the most significant upgrades on the way appears to be 60W wired charging for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
I’m certainly not complaining; that’s obviously a nice upgrade that will make the phone a little bit snappier to charge. Combined with 25W wireless charging via Qi2, cordless lovers are in for a small bump as well. However, I’m not convinced that these changes alone will elevate the Ultra experience, and S26 and S26 Plus are set to receive less generous treatment. What about your mainstream consumers, Samsung?
